I use Free Agent newsreader through the free CIS server and I don't get any spam on this newsgroup.
I get a bit on one of the Buddhist newsgroups that I occasionally visit, but that's the only one
that I get any on. Even that is actually just one guy spamming about a dozen of the religion
newsgroups so it may be too small for a spam blocker to catch.

You can use a different news server. I do not see much of it (unless someone replies to it).

I use Outlook Express (please don't tell me how bad it is) through Comcast and I have no idea what
you are talking about because I don't see it.

Then Comcast has done an excellent job of filtering that stuff out of the newsgroups and email. I
rarely ever see it. So I guess I don't know how good I've got it.
That's the one I use. The combination of the cis server and Forte Free Agent have served me
very well.

I also use Outlook Express through Comcast and I am getting all of it.
Skip, How did you turn it off?

I didn't do anything other than download the Comcast software. I've never gotten anything other than
a occasional bit of spam on the newsreader or in my email. Someone with a better understanding than
I will have to explain
it.
I have a friend with an MSM account and she tell me her daily dose of emailed spam is incredible.
I also use OE through Comcast, and I got the spam, too - some idiot advertising a cable descrambler
with half a dozen messages.

If your Comcast can't block that guy then who can they block?
